BACKGROUND

A touchscreen apparatus (such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and an automatic teller machine that have a touchscreen) works by using a voltage on an X-Y electrode grid that covers the touchscreen apparatus.

Apparently, the embodiments to be described are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The terms used in the embodiments of the present invention are merely for the purpose of illustrating specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Singular forms, such as “a”, “the”, and “this”, used in the embodiments and the appended claims of the present invention are also intended to include plural forms, unless otherwise specified in the context clearly. It should also be understood that, the term “and/or” used in this specification indicates and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items. It should further be understood that, the term “include” used in this specification specifies the existence of the feature, entity, step, operation, element and/or component, and does not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, entities, operations, members, components and/or a combination thereof.

In the embodiments of the present invention, a touchscreen apparatus includes but is not limited to mobile communication devices such as a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a tablet computer, and a portable device (such as a portable computer), and also includes devices that have touchscreens, such as an automatic teller machine (Automatic Teller Machine, ATM), which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a touchscreen apparatus user interface processing method according to a first embodiment (Embodiment 1) of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the touchscreen apparatus user interface processing method may include the following steps.

S101: Obtain touch information.

A touchscreen apparatus obtains the touch information through a touchscreen. The touch information may include: information such as touch position information, touch area information, touch pressure information, and touch time information, and may also include other information, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. Persons of ordinary skill in the art may obtain the touch information by using a touchscreen sensing technology in the prior art.

The touch information may include touch information that is generated when a user touches a touchscreen apparatus, and may also include touch information that is generated when a user performs a floating touch on a touch apparatus, and may further include touch information that is generated by a gesture of a user. A generation manner of the touch information is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

S102: Arrange a first user interface of an application program according to the touch information, where the arrangement is adjusting an element position of the user interface.

Persons of ordinary skill in the art may know that, a user interface is also called user interface, and is a medium for interaction and information exchange between a system and a user, and implements conversion of information between an internal format and a format that is acceptable to human beings. A purpose of the user interface is to enable a user to operate hardware conveniently and efficiently, so as to realize bidirectional interaction and complete work that is expected to be completed through the hardware. The user interface has a wide definition, and includes man-machine interaction and a graphical user interface. User interfaces are involved in all fields related to information communication between human beings and machines. User interfaces may specifically include a character user interface such as a user interface that has a character and is obtained through computer language programming (as shown in FIG. 7); a graphical user interface, namely, graphic user interface (Graphic User Interface, GUI), which is a most common user interface in the world currently, for example, an interface that is displayed on a mobile phone in a charging state is a graphical user interface (as shown in FIG. 8), and a user interacts with device hardware through a displayed graph (icon); and a physical character interface, namely, physical widget (as shown in FIG. 9), which is one of means for interaction and information exchange between a system and a user. Universal physical controls at present mainly include a volume key, a camera key, a power key, an unlock key on a device, and so on. Information in the interaction and information exchange between a system and a user may include information that can be sensed by a user, such as auditory information, visual information, tactile information, action information, odor information. Presenting the first user interface of the application program may specifically be: displaying a graphical user interface of the application program, prompting a physical character interface of the application program, and prompting a user interface of the application program through vibration.

It should be understood that, the first user interface is a user interface that is presented to a user when the application program has already been started, during a starting process of the application program, and during a closing process of the application program.

It should be understood that, although terms such as “first”, “second”, and “third” may be used to describe various kinds of user interfaces in the embodiment of the present invention, these user interfaces are not limited to these terms. These terms are merely used for distinguishing the user interfaces from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiment of the present invention, a first user interface may also be referred to as a second user interface, and similarly, a second user interface may also be referred to as a first user interface.

The arrangement is adjusting an element position of the user interface. An element of the user interface refers to design content of the user interface, which includes but is not limited to a widget, an icon, and a character, and also includes an element that is presented by the application program through another interface, for example, an interface design element of a function for associating a physical widget (as shown in FIG. 9) with ringtone and vibration. The adjusting the element position is to make adaptive adjustment on design content of a user interface of a touchscreen apparatus, especially a touchscreen apparatus with a large screen, according to the touch information. For example, if the obtained touch information is centralized at a lower left portion of the touchscreen, it is considered that a user gets used to performing an operation at the lower left portion of the touchscreen. In order to facilitate use of the user, the user interface is arranged, and the arrangement may be that elements such as a scroll bar, a letter navigation bar, and a short message sending widget is arranged at the lower left portion of the touchscreen, so as to facilitate use of the user. For example, it may also be that if the obtained touch information is centralized at a lower left portion of the touchscreen, it is considered that a user gets used to performing an operation at the lower left portion of the touchscreen. In order to facilitate use of the user, the user interface is arranged, and the arrangement may be that content to be read by the user, such as text and pictures, is moved to an upper right side of the screen, so as to prevent that some text or pictures are shielded due to an operation of the user and it is inconvenient for the user to read, thereby improving overall user experience.

S103: Present a second user interface of the application program.

It should be understood that, the second user interface is a graphical user interface that is presented to the user when the application program has already been started, during a starting process of the application program, and during a closing process of the application program.

The second user interface of the application program is presented, where the second user interface is a user interface after the first user interface of the application program is arranged according to the touch information, and the arrangement is adjusting an element position of the user interface.

Other presenting manners for arranging the first user interface also belong to the protection scope of the embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, by using the touchscreen apparatus user interface processing method, intelligent levels of arrangement of a touchscreen apparatus user interface and interactivity with a user are improved. The touchscreen apparatus user interface is adaptive to an operation habit of the user, which enhances convenience for the user to use a touchscreen apparatus with a large screen.

Optionally, step S102 specifically includes: The touch information includes touch position information, and connection line position information between position information of a touch start point and position information of a touch end point is obtained according to the touch position information; a relative position between the touch track information and the connection line position information is determined, where the relative position includes that: the touch track information is located at the right side or the left side of the connection line position information; and the first user interface of the application program is arranged according to the relative position.

A touchscreen apparatus obtains touch information of a user on a touchscreen, where the touch information may include: touch position information. The touch position information may be understood as a set of touch point coordinates. Position information of a start point of a touch position and position information of an end point of the touch position may be obtained according to the touch position information. The start point and the end point are connected by a straight line, and then connection line position information is obtained. In this case, two tracks are formed in total. A first track is a track formed by touch position information that is left by the user on the touchscreen; and a second track is a track formed by the connection line position information. A relative position relationship between the two tracks is determined, that is, the relative position between the touch track information and the connection line position information is determined, where the relative position includes that: the touch track information is located at the right side or the left side of the connection line position information. The first user interface of the application program is arranged according to determination about whether the touch track information is located at the right side of the connection line position information or the touch track information is located at the left side of the connection line position information. If the touch track information is located at the right side of the connection line position information, the user gets used to a left-hand operation, and the first user interface of the application program is arranged according to determination that the touch track information is located at the right side of the connection line position information, that is, an interface design element may be disposed at the left side, or content to be viewed, such as text, is disposed at an upper right portion of the user interface, and vice versa.

A method for determining the relative position between the touch track information and the connection line position information, where the relative position includes that: the touch track information is located at the right side or the left side of the connection line position information, specifically includes: randomly taking N points in the touch position information; taking M points in the connection line position information correspondingly; if the predetermined number of points among the N points (the predetermined number of points is at least greater than N/2, and the specific number is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention) are at one side of the M points, obtaining the relative position between the touch position information and the connection line position information, where M is equal to N, and N and M are natural numbers that are greater than 1. An optional method for determining the relative position between the touch track information and the connection line position information may be specifically described as follows.

In a user interface of an application program with a two-dimensional display interface, a touchscreen of a touchscreen apparatus may be set as grids that have an X direction and a Y direction. Icon information of all application programs on the touchscreen (for example, icon sizes, and icon positions), and touch position information that a user touches a screen may be indicated by numerical values in the two directions: X and Y. When the user touches the screen with a finger, the touchscreen apparatus can obtain a touch point of the user

(X_(m), Y_(m)), and the touch position may be indicated by (X_(n), Y_(n)).

FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B are schematic diagrams of a possible implementation manner for determining the relative position between the touch track information and the connection line position information in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B, the method for determining the relative position between the touch track information and the connection line position information is specifically as follows.

In the embodiment of the present invention, an origin of coordinates, namely, a coordinate axis is shown in FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B. A track formed by the touch position information is the first track, which may be understood as a set of touch points, namely, [X, Y][X, Y]. A track formed by the connection line position information is the second track, which may be understood as a set of points, namely, [x, y][x, y]. N points are randomly taken from the first track, and coordinates of the N points may be (X₁, Y₁), (X₂, Y₂), (X₃, Y₃) . . . (X_(N), Y_(N)) respectively (X₁, Y₁), (X₂, Y₂), (X₃, Y₃) . . . (X_(N), Y_(N)). M points are taken from the second track correspondingly, and coordinates of the M points may be (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), (x₃, y₃) . . . (x_(M), y_(M)) respectively (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), (x₃, y₃) . . . (x_(M), y_(M)), where M=N, and Y_(n)=y_(m) M=N Y_(n)=y_(m), and M and N are natural numbers that are greater than 1.

As shown in FIG. 3B, if coordinates of a predetermined number of points among the N points on the first track satisfy: X_(n)>x_(m) X_(n)>x_(m), a predetermined number of points among the N points on the first track are at the right side of the M points on the second track, that is, the first track is at the right side of the second track. The first user interface of the application program is arranged according to that the first track is at the right side of the second track. Based on that the first track is at the right side of the second track, it may be determined that the user performs an operation with the left hand, and the arranging the first user interface of the application program is performing corresponding arrangement according to a use habit of the user.

As shown in FIG. 3A, if a predetermined number of points among the N points on the first track satisfy: X_(n)<x_(m) X_(n)>x_(m), a predetermined number of points among the N points on the first track are at the left side of the M points on the second track, that is, the first track is at the left side of the second track. The first user interface of the application program is arranged according to that the first track is at the left side of the second track. Based on that the first track is at the left side of the second track, it may be determined that the user performs an operation with the right hand, and the arranging the first user interface of the application program is performing corresponding arrangement according to a use habit of the user.

In the embodiment of the present invention, by using the touchscreen apparatus user interface processing method, an intelligent level of arrangement of a touchscreen apparatus user interface and interactivity with a user are improved. The touchscreen apparatus user interface is adaptive to an operation habit of the user, which enhances convenience for the user to use a touchscreen apparatus with a large screen.

Optionally, step S102 specifically includes: The touch information includes touch position information, and a relative position between the touch track information and a touchscreen is determined according to the touch track information; and the first user interface of the application program is arranged according to the determined relative position.

A touchscreen apparatus obtains touch information of a user, where the touch information may include: touch position information. When the same touch position information is obtained for more than predetermined time, it may be considered that the user expects to arrange the first user interface by long pressing the touchscreen. In this case, a relative position between a touch position and the entire user interface may be determined according to the touch position information, and the first user interface of the application program is arranged, so as to be adaptive to a use habit of the user. For example, if the user gets used to touching a left portion, a right portion, an upper portion, or a lower portion of the touchscreen, the user interface is arranged according to a determination result.

In the same way, when the same touch position is obtained for more than a predetermined number of times, it may be considered that the user quickly clicks the same position of the touchscreen for multiple times so as to arrange the first user interface. At the same time, a relative position between a touch position and the entire first user interface is determined according to the touch position information, and the first user interface of the application program is arranged, so as to be adaptive to a use habit of the user. For example, if the user gets used to touching a left portion, a right portion, an upper portion, or a lower portion of the touchscreen, the user interface is arranged according to a determination result.

The predetermined time may be a few seconds, a few minutes, or a few hours, and may be preset by the touchscreen apparatus, and may also be defined by the user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. Each type of the arrangement instruction may be consecutively obtained within the predetermined time; alternatively, a first type of arrangement instruction may be obtained, a second or third type of arrangement instruction may be obtained subsequently, and then the first type of arrangement instruction is obtained again. A sequence in which arrangement instructions appear does not affect a counting result.

The arrangement instruction includes multiple types of arrangement instructions, for example, left-side arrangement instruction, right-side arrangement instruction, upper-side arrangement instruction, lower-side arrangement instruction, two-side arrangement instruction, and middle arrangement instruction. All these instructions are used for the exemplary description of the arrangement instruction, and are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

If the number of times is greater than the predetermined value, obtaining the arrangement instruction specifically includes the following. If, within the predetermined time, the arrangement instruction that is obtained for the greatest number of times is obtained, and the number of times is greater than the predetermined value, the arrangement instruction is used as an instruction for arranging the first user interface. If within the predetermined time, the arrangement instruction that is obtained for the greatest number of times is obtained, but the number of times is smaller than the predetermined value for the number of times, finally the arrangement instruction is not obtained. The predetermined value for the number of times may be any natural number such as 1, 2, and 3, and may be preset by the touchscreen apparatus, and may also be defined by the user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. However, in consideration of the objective of the present invention, design of the predetermined value for the number of times should enable a touchscreen apparatus to be adaptive to an operation habit of a user, which enhances convenience for the user to use a touchscreen apparatus with a large screen. And the user interface is not frequently changed, thereby avoiding getting the user into unnecessary trouble. In the same way, the predetermined time may be any time from 1 minute to 10 minutes, and may be preset by the touchscreen apparatus, and may also be defined by the user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
